came into his own city
"the city where he was staying" (UDB).
Behold
This marks the beginning of another event in the larger story. It may involve different people than the previous events. Your language may have a way of doing this.
they...their
those who brought the paralyzed man to Jesus. It may include the paralyzed man himself.
Son
The man was not Jesus' real son. Jesus was speaking to him politely. If this is confusing, it can also be translated "My friend" or "Young man," or even omitted.

"God has forgiven your sins" or "I have forgiven your sins"
